Research Abstract |
Purpose of this project is to discover new metastasis inhibitors of low molecular weight from nature and by molecular design. Especially, peritoneal metastasis is very difficult to treat, and wetly to set up bio-imaging system of peritoneal metastasis to evaluate our metastasis inhibitors. Our main discoveries are the followings. 1) We previously discovered NF-kappa B inhibitor DHMEQ. DHMEQ was found to inhibit peritoneal metastasis of highly invasive human gastric cancer cells in mice, in which metastasis was analyzed by bio-imaging. 2) We discovered novel cancer cell migration inhibitor migracin from a microorganism. This inhibitor inhibited migration of human breast carcinoma, fibrosarcoma, and lung carcinoma cells without any cytotoxicity. 3) Glybenclamide is orally active, and widely used for the treatment of type-2 diabetes. In the course of our screening of cancer cell invasion inhibitors, we found that glybenclamide inhibited ovarian cancer cell invasion mediated by PDGF-AA.
